"Designer Sheryl Thies presents a collection of 20 wraps that were inspired by the shapes, textures, colors, and patterns found in nature and she offers such a wide variety that every knitter is sure to find something that fits her style. From the white, lacy 'Snowflakes' to the simple, hand-painted 'Fall Colors,' Thies fills the collection with unexpected styles in eye-catching colors. Of course, there are some of the basic shapes: a few rectangles and triangles and even a cape (and a poncho or two, too). But there are other shapes that you may not have seen before: U-shaped pieces that come together with a shawl pin, rectangles that button together, wraps with armholes, pieces with ties and clips, tassels and I-cord."—Kristin Dreyer Kramer
